exploring stories and fun ways to tell them, avg crypto and ai user (ex @supra_labs)

[Nipun @nipunscrolls]

I spent almost four years working on something I actually believed in. That ended last month after six months of being told payment was coming next week, week after week. It still hasn't.

All this while work was being done with the same conviction, fresh agreements signed on their request, promises made and remade more times than I can count, all with no follow through or accountability.

Some will say "you should have left earlier" truth is I had three years of real trust with the people I worked with. Took six months of not being paid to realize something had changed at the very top. But it doesn't excuse their actions or change what's owed.

Tbh I'm still figuring out what to do with this stretch. watching four years of conviction dissolve into this has been one of the strangest things I've gone through professionally.

Also apparently I'm just one of dozens going through this exact thing here, let that sink in.

we are so back

to the crypto is dead part of the cycle

a steal if you ask me @grok

It's surprising the lengths some folks will go to to protect their version of a story, to hide the real one, and to threaten the people they've already wronged for speaking up

@SeaCow6900 @nansen_ai yes it was, afaik

Top chains by transactions in the last 7 days.

Supra has done 20 million transactions in last 7 days (10 million in just one day today).

We would rank 8th for transaction count here today.

Probably much higher by tomorrow.

UPDATE: Just hit 10 million transactions in one day.

You're breaking records faster than we can keep up with chat, and we only get faster from here!

"Be patient" and "stay professional" sound like virtues until they're used to keep you quiet about something wrong.

Six months of patience changes the picture when the patience is entirely one-directional, they keep asking, we keep complying based on trust built over four years. any reciprocal expectation gets met with empty promises while the real human cost that honest hard-working people have to carry just keeps adding up.

When "stay professional" comes from someone who owes you six months of pay, it really just means "please don't make this awkward for us." And "appreciate your patience" is just something they can say forever without any cost.

Most people going through this have been measured, cooperative, and quiet this entire time. Some out of fear, others out of hopium, but not sure how long the charade lasts.

@meatandbeers The real human cost of the entire situation that isn't even fully visible yet is the saddest part.

You were always a real legend brother, love you.

@fieldgoats Even that is an understatement, none of our honest hardworking teammates deserved this

I think all can agree that if someone has been contracted to do work and they've done it, they should be paid the agreed amount.

Any delays in payment should be communicated clearly with actual timelines, not vague "soon" messages, or worse, long periods of total silence.

I’ve officially stepped away from my role.

This wasn’t a quick or easy decision. I spent months trying to handle things privately and professionally. Based on my own experience, I reached a point where I could not continue taking on that risk.

I’m grateful for many of the people I met along the way. There are real builders and people I’ll continue to respect.

But I also want to be honest about why I’m leaving.

I continued showing up, doing the work, and trying to move things forward. As time went on, the alignment I expected between work performed and compensation no longer held up in a sustainable way.

At a certain point, continuing under those circumstances no longer made sense.

Closing this chapter is bittersweet. I’m thankful for the real ones, proud of what I contributed, and ready to move forward.

To the community: thank you for the support, conversations, and kindness. I won’t forget the good that was here.

To those still building: I genuinely wish you the best.
To the people I worked closely with and still respect, you know who you are.

[Nipun @nipunscrolls]

still unresolved btw, after a full month of trying to handle matters privately, which itself was after six full months of grace and leeway

the truth comes out eventually

[Nipun @nipunscrolls]

@SUPRA_Labs Finally @JoshuaTobkin paid attention and reached out.

I'm trying to help him come to a reasonable resolution privately but it seems unlikely so far. Hope we can resolve everything quietly.

More soon.

[Nipun @nipunscrolls]

Imagine being treated this way after 4 years of service, who does that?

The power of $SUPRA will feel hard to understand at first to most

Not because it is super complex tbh, but because of what we've been taught about L1s, oracles, bridges, etc for years

This is something I found myself thinking about today at a routine medical thing of all places lol

Back in 2021 I got hooked on crypto youtube (whiteboard crypto, altcoin daily, crypto banter, pomp, some pods, the usual suspects yk)

One thing you pick up fairly quickly is just seeing these different parts of the blockchain stack as separate things with separate tokens, networks, communities, users, categories and so on

I imagine most of the CT audience has been dyoring for a while and there's a way we've come to see and imagine these things

To really understand Supra, I feel like you kind of have to unlearn those fundamental lessons a bit

Supra is a MoveVM L1
Supra is an EVM L1
Supra is an SVM L1
Supra is an oracle
Supra is a bridge

Supra is all of the above and more, all at once

Like most meaningful ideas, this will feel hard to digest, instinctively you want to place Supra in one of the boxes you already have in mind from years of dyoring

But when you understand this new box we're creating for ourselves, it just makes all the sense in the world

Seeing @JoshuaTobkin share the Supra story on @AltcoinDailyio today felt like a dream tbh cause that channel was one of first ones I got hooked on back in the day

This will also play a big part in helping people understand the true power of what we're building, and we'll keep pushing and educating to help the world understand Supra

One network, one chain, one community, one token

We are one 1️⃣

We are integrated 🤝
